Spammers wasteland

The last time I deleted a post that I deemed to be unhelpful it ignited a firestorm of cries of censorship. So I decided to create a place to copy such posts. This way the thread in question is not derailed to badly and people will know where the post went.
Enjoy!

Thus one is more compelling than the others that I have seen out there.A snippet from the article.

Bible and Middle Eastern scholars are noting a similarity between the Arabic name for Allah and the Greek letters naming the Beast of Revelation.
Former PLO operative turned Christian Arabic-language researcher Walid Shoebat affirms there’s evidence that the name of Allah in Arabic is what the apostle John saw in his vision of the Antichrist’s name in the book of Revelation.

It also says the beast had seven heads and that the great whore was drinking from a goblet of blood, among other things, so, either interpret the book symbolically and with some consistency or don't try to understand it at all.

The beast, 666, mark of the beast, etc. is all ancient history. All the events described in Revelation happened 66AD - 70AD

Agreed that it's done; still up in the air about when it was written, although Gentry and others make a very strong case for a Neronic date.

Apparently, Futurists/Dispensationalists and heavy metal bands enjoy trying to guess who/what the "666 beast" is and what he looks like.

There is a weird, grim, bizarre, morbid fascination Christians have with their end-of-the-world revenge fantasy, made even weirder by obsessing over the Antichrist's identity, date of the rapture, mark of the beast, etc.
